Sad. KGO was the number one AM station for many years in Northern California. Used to listen to the 49ers every Sunday on KGO. Would be driving home from the winter vegetable deal down in the desert and listen to KGO into the night. Used to be balanced politically and hear all opinions. Turned into a flaming lefty propaganda outlet. Couldn’t listen any more. I guess a whole lot of people couldn’t either. Kinda like the local newspaper. All going away

Wasn’t that where Melanie Morgan and Officer Vic were? There were a couple of guys before them who were great, too, but can’t remember their names.

I hear you. Grew up on the Peninsula and many-a-night listened to KGO on the commute home. Sad what has become of that beautiful part of our country.

Talk radio is slim in the KC area and the best station became a spanish station out of the blue. I miss Kilmeade in the morning.

I hate when stations do this. Especially talk radio.

Oh dear. That day has finally come.
That used to be my #1. station for talk shows.
Ever since the December “Bloodbath” of 2010, when several favorite hosts were fired (The arrival of Cumulus) that station has been quickly wilting. Enough talent to keep it going, but not much more. Terrestrial radio, the radio I grew up on is disappearing. Listening to talk shows online is possible, yes, but just not the same.

I miss hearing Barbara Simpson, and Rabbi Lapin among many others. One of their big stars used to be
Ray Taliafero. A booming voice. A zooming delivery. Lots of interaction with callers. Ray was impressive, and entertaining in small doses. I later realized how myopic and Liberal he was.

Rich Lieberman 415 Media will most likely write about this.

KGO was great in the past with Gene Burns, Pete Wilson, Jim Eason, etc. Savage was on there too. The December 2011 purge ended my regular listening to the station.

I recommend the app “Right Talk” for radio listening. Many stations available.

I use it at night and when traveling :)

KGO is such a powerful station, that at night, we can listen to it in Seattle, Washington.

Back in the ‘60s, I listened to Mystery Chiller Theater.

At “Ten 0 Five”.

I think it was KGO. all the way to Eastern Washington.
